Where could I get Freeze Dried Iguanas? Is there a site? I really want to either paint one or turn it into a robotic dragon! Looking for one (about 2 foot) in a climbing position with tree appendage.

I would think a feeze dried iguana would be your worse choice over all. If you want to install robotics into it, you are going to open the cavity up to moisture and it will just rot away. even a conventionally mounted one would have to have the robotics installed and be planned way ahead of time to incorporate it into the manniquin. The only way to pull it off professionally would be to use a reproduction iguana and even then robotics and servos would have to be installed into a hollow shell. Bill Gaither is the man for the job. He is known here as CUR, I am sure he will post a reply. The reproduction would have to be a soft flexible latex type repro that would give with the flexing of the tail and appendages for movement
what you have in mind is not going to work. Robotics has to come first then you build the iguana around the robot. The iguana due to movement has to be flexible or it would break apart. Latex is most likely the only choice here. Cur is the man for this job I would say.
I took your info under concern, and realized that... yeah... the iguana would smell bad after I opened it up. Is there a possible way that I could get it freeze dried in sections and sealed? Or should I give up on the freeze-dried iguana theory and move to casting replicas?
